1. What are the pros and cons of electric vehicles? Would you purchase one why or why not? The pros of having an electric vehicle would be less expensive fuel, we all know that the prices of gasoline are going up because the limited fossil fuel that well eventually run out, and let’s be realistic here by saying that no everyone enjoys paying for their gas, plus electric vehicles are much friendlier on the environment with no tailpipe emissions they have less dependency on fossil fuels.…
Joint Force 2025 requires general capabilities in a global surveillance and strike (GSS) network, naval ships and air investments and ensuring cyber technology outpaces adversaries. These capabilities are needed based on the current strategic direction and global security environment. Satellites and cyber technology will be part of the design of the system. The U.S. military will be able to strike quickly and remain engaged for increased periods while additional forces move to the area of concern using the GSS system.…
In September 2009, the United States Air Force (USAF) graduated its first pilot training class that did not receive flight training.1 These pilots are not headed for the cockpit but to the controls of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS). In 2009, the USAF trained more UAS pilots than fighter or bomber pilots2 in an attempt to meet what the former commander of United States Central Command labeled an “insatiable need” for UAS.3 While the UAS “surge” began under President Bush, President Obama is expanding both UAS acquisition and their use.4 The proposed 2011 defense budget would double UAS production and for the first time the USAF will order more UAS than manned…
Have you ever driven a car before? If you have driven a car before then you would know that they driving part of it is the easiest. The hard part is looking out for your surroundings. You always have to worry about the other drivers. Well if we have cars that drive themselves by a computer then everybody would think Hey!…
Argument 1 and 2 both address drones. Specifically argument 1 addresses why “Cargo drones can make a difference in Africa, elsewhere” and argument 2 clarifies about “Small drones causing big problems for firefighting planes”. While argument 1 and 2 include tremendous strengths argument one is the strongest argument. To begin, the author’s main claim is that “Cargo drones can help hard to reach areas of the world”. The main reason that supports their claim is that they can fly to areas that regular transportation can’t.…
UAS development continues to be ongoing, the continued development creates new capabilities as well as improving old ones. A system that has been developing over the years is the RQ-7 Shadow. This platform has a wide verity of uses and capabilities that range anywhere from tactical to strategic mission sets. Also, this system was produced to provide 2 “Brigade commanders with improved capabilities and bring a better situational awareness within their AOR”. Through these advancements it has improved the capabilities within the GEOINT profession.…
My potential controversy that i have been thinking about deals with self-driving trucks; specifically self-driving eighteen-wheelers. The highway I-35 runs right through the city of Austin and it is not uncommon to hear about car crashes that happen on it. Many times these crashes become fatal when an eighteen-wheeler is involved. A truck company based in San Francisco called Otto, and many other companies has started testing these self driving trucks. Self-driving trucks, in comparison to human driven trucks will be “safer and less costly” a few years down the road.…
By the time of Iraq/Afghanistan war, warfare had progressed much further into what is today called modern warfare. Attacks were no longer led on the front lines, but rather hundreds of miles away, strategically led from a safe location. The age of unmanned aerial vehicles emerged, dawning the use of the new word “drone”. Suddenly, an unmanned plane…
GUN DETECTION DEVICES AND DRONES Similar to the LPR’s , the new Gun Detection Devices are also mounted onto police cars. These devices use terahertz-wave detection to find concealed weapons. The device picks up this natural radiation that emits from people and objects. If something blocks the flow of the terahertz, like a gun, then the device will make that object glow on-screen.…
Why do some people think that recreational drone flying should be legal or illegal? According to many sources many people think that drones should be illegal and have regulations. Many news and highly respected officials agree with this also. There have been many cases that lead citizens to believe that drones should illegal like the drone crashing on the White House lawn.…
THE ETHICS OF DRONE WARFARE Introduction Recent developments in technology have made possible the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are capable of operating at high altitudes for extended periods of time. These UAVs are capable of deploying precision guided weapons, and can be controlled remotely from the other side of the world. This means that American UAV pilots are able to kill with the push of a button from thousands of miles away.…
Seattle – Tacoma International Airport and Airspace Case Study Seattle – Tacoma International Airport: Strong Future Projections on a Stable Basis Seattle – Tacoma International Airport, better known as Sea-Tac (KSEA), is the main Air Gate and Hub Airport of Seattle Port Authority. Consisted by a great real-estate footprint, it is set to be one of the most massive aerospace facilities and service providing structures of the Pacific North West Region of the United States. Sea-Tac Airport, named after the nearby city Sea-Tac, Washington, just twelve (12) NM south of Seattle City, is actually serving as the main Metropolitan Airport1 of the Region. Alaska Air Group Inc. has their main Office near the Airport, which serves as the Main Hub for Alaska…
